Abstract

This paper describes a machine learning approach to creation of computational model for predicting 30-day post hospital discharge mortality. The Computational Length of stay, Acuity, Comorbidities and Emergency visits (C-LACE) is an attempt to improve accuracy of popular LACE model frequently used in hospital setting. The model has been constructed and tested using MIMIC III data. The model accuracy (AUC) on testing data is 0.74. A simplified, user-oriented version of the model (Minimum C-LACE) based on 20-most important mortality indicators achieves practically identical accuracy to full C-LACE based on 308 variables. The focus of this paper is on detailed analysis of the models and their performance. The model is also available in the form of online calculator.
